PowerCommand 500/550 Remote Monitoring System Complete remote monitoring of your power system The PowerCommand 500 series provides a convenient means of remotely monitoring generator sets, transfer switches, sensors and output controls. Users can access the remote monitoring device from any PC or Mac computer using a Microsoft Silverlight-enabled web browser; no additional software is required. Multiple users can monitor the power system equipment simultaneously. PowerCommand 500 series users can monitor generator set data, such as annunciator, alternator and engine data, as well as transfer switch data, such as source, load and switch connection status. Expandable I/O modules can provide additional monitoring and controlling capabilities. Features Communicates: PowerCommand 500/550 communicates to Cummins Power Generation controls (generator sets, transfer switches and expandable I/O modules) via Modbus. Legacy controls will require a LonWorks to Modbus converter PowerCommand Lon Gateway). Monitors: PowerCommand 550 monitors up to twelve devices in any combination of generator sets, transfer switches and up to three expandable I/O modules. PowerCommand 500 monitors up to two devices in any combination of generator sets, transfer switches or expandable I/O modules. Controls: User can remotely start and stop generator sets; remotely start and stop transfer switch tests; and remotely reset and acknowledge warning type faults on generator sets and transfer switches. User can also remotely activate and deactivate output controls. Notifies: When an event becomes active, the user can choose to receive notifications via SMTP (email), SMS (text) and SNMP traps. User Interface: PowerCommand 500/550 employs a straightforward, icon-based graphical interface for monitoring data and controlling devices.
PC 500/550 2 Features (continued) Data Logs: PowerCommand 500/550 data logs contain detailed device data such as alternator, engine, source and load values. The user can extend data log memory with either an SD memory card or a USB flash drive. With the PowerCommand 550, a user can export data logs. Event Logs: PowerCommand 500/550 stores system and device events, which include faults and warnings triggered on generator sets, transfer switches, sensors and PowerCommand 500/550. With the PowerCommand 550, a user can export event logs. Reports: Users can create and view device reports containing selected parameters over a specified time duration. With the PowerCommand 550, a user can export these customized reports. Diagnostics: Users can remotely diagnose Modbus communication status, wireless status and system performance data. Security: PowerCommand 500/550 has enhanced security with 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. The system is also username and password protected. Users are assigned one of three access levels Administrator, Operator, Read-Only providing various operation and functionality at each access level.
PC 500/550 3 Summary PowerCommand 500/550 enables remote monitoring of Cummins Power Generation and third-party equipment, including generator sets, transfer switches and sensors and output controls. Connectivity and notifications The PowerCommand 500/550 communicates to controls using Modbus RTU communication protocol through two RS485 channels on the device. All Cummins Power Generation generator set controls using Modbus can be directly connected, while Cummins Power Generation generator set and transfer switch controls using PowerCommand LonWorks can communicate via a PowerCommand ModLon II Gateway LonWorks to Modbus converter. The PowerCommand 500/550 is connected to a TCP/IP network through the Ethernet connection. This allows the user to access the web-based user interface, login and view the overall status of the power system over the network. The user can receive notifications via SMTP (e-mail) and SNMP traps. Additional models allow users to receive SMS (texts) by using GSM or CDMA-based cellular modules. The user can set up an account with the wireless service provider of his/her choice. Home The Menu Bar allows for intuitive and efficient navigation among devices, system event log, system data log, reports, diagnostics and setup. The Systems Status Bar continuously displays active events associated with the configured power system. The Menu and System Status bars are viewable on all pages as the user navigates throughout the user interface. Setup Setup Page enables configuration of the device and the network through easy-to-use guided wizards. The Setup Page has several tiles that allow the user to easily configure their power system for remote monitoring. Through the use of simple wizards, the user can configure the network settings, devices, data log preferences, user profiles, notifications, date/time, and mail settings. Adding to this convenience is the ability to update the PowerCommand 500/550 s software. Once the user has saved the updated software file to their personal computer, the software update process can be easily executed remotely through the user interface. Home Page allows the user to view the status of all configured devices in one glance. The Home Page provides an overall system status of all configured devices. Within each configured generator set, there are icons which provide fault, run and communication status. Within each configured transfer switch, there are icons which provide fault, switch position, source availability and communication status. The Home Page also allows the user to create graphs for a particular device by selecting a parameter and a pre-configured duration.
PC 500/550 4 Generator set data Clicking on the Home Page generator set icon navigates the user to the details page, providing a snapshot of the annunciator, alternator and engine data. By selecting any configured transfer switch on the Home Page, the user can view all the commonly used parameters. The data is displayed using panels, such as Annunciator, Load and Source Status. Similar to the generator set data, the user can access specific event and data logs associated with that configured transfer switch. The transfer switch details page also displays the Source Status visually, while the Start and Stop buttons allow the user to remotely test the transfer switch. Additionally, the user can reset the warning type faults associated with that particular transfer switch with the Fault Reset button. Sensors and output controls data By selecting any configured generator set on the Home Page, the user can view all the commonly used parameters usually accessed through the human machine interface (HMI) or annunciator panel. The display data is shown on three different panels: Annunciator, Alternator and Engine. The annunciator panel displays extended annunciator parameters; whereas, the Alternator and Engine panels display electrical and engine parameters respectively. Within this configured generator set detailed view, the user is also able to view event logs, data logs and gauges associated with that particular generator set. The generator set data page also allows the user to start or stop a generator set with the Start and Stop buttons. Additionally, the user can reset the warning type faults associated with that particular generator set with the Fault Reset button. Transfer switch data Clicking on the Home Page building icon navigates the user to the details page, providing a snapshot of all configured sensors or output controls. By selecting the Building icon on the Home Page, the user can view all configured sensors and output controls. In addition to device specific I/Os, the user can add an AUX 101 (8-configurable inputs and 8- discrete outputs) and an AUX 102 (4-non configurable discrete inputs and 8-discrete outputs) for additional remote monitoring and controlling capability. The Sensors and Output Controls Page displays configured sensors (states/values, low warnings and high warnings) and output controls (statuses and states). The user can remotely activate and deactivate output control states by clicking the off/on switch. Similar to the generator set and transfer switch data, the user can access specific event logs associated with all configured sensors. Clicking on the Home Page transfer switch icon navigates the user to the details page, providing a snapshot of annunciator, load and source status data.
